Your company is expanding its office space and you are tasked with ensuring the new area has adequate Wi-Fi coverage without creating areas of signal overlap that could be exploited. What would be the most effective method to achieve this during the planning stage?
You selected this option
Increase the transmit power of current access points to extend the Wi-Fi signal range into the new office space.
You selected this option
Conduct a site survey and generate a heat map to visualize Wi-Fi coverage.
You selected this option
Deploy a Wi-Fi analyzer tool to count the number of connected devices and increase access points accordingly.
You selected this option
Simply install additional wireless access points at equal distances in the new space based on the maximum range specifications provided by the hardware manufacturer.
Using a heat map is the correct choice for this task as it allows one to visualize the wireless signal coverage throughout the new office space. By assessing areas of strong signal and identifying potential dead zones, it helps in planning the placement of new access points efficiently and minimize signal overlap, which could create unnecessary interference and potential security risks, such as rogue access point attacks.
